The Strength Manicure - Not BIAB. Not just gel. Something smarter.
A modern manicure designed for durability, without the commitment of builder gel but longer wear than a gel polish.
What is the Strength Manicure?
The Strength Manicure is a gel manicure with added reinforcement.
We apply a thin strengthening layer of gel over your gel colour to strengthen the natural nail, helping prevent bending, peeling and breakage. It’s designed for clients who want their manicure to last longer, without the structure, thickness or time committment of BIAB.
Think of it as reinforcement, not construction. your nails do the talking.
Who it’s for
The Strength Manicure is ideal if you:
- Want your gel manicure to last around 3 weeks
- Have short to medium natural nails
- Experience chipping, peeling or breakage with regular gel
- Prefer a lighter, more natural feel than BIAB
- Don’t need length, extensions or a structured apex
If your nails are already strong but need longevity, this is your sweet spot.
How it compares to our other manicures
We’ve designed Strength to sit between our Signature Gel Manicure and BIAB.
- Signature Gel Manicure: colour, shine and approximately 2 weeks wear
- Strength Manicure: added reinforcement with approximately 3 weeks wear
- BIAB: full structure and approximately 4 weeks wear
Not every nail needs BIAB. Strength gives you durability, without overbuilding the nail.
WHY WE CREATED IT
Over time, we saw more clients defaulting to BIAB, even when they didn’t need full structure.
At the same time, traditional gel wasn’t always delivering the longevity clients wanted.
The Strength Manicure bridges that gap.
A more considered option. A better recommendation for many nail types.
THE RESULT
Stronger natural nails AND Longer-lasting manicures.
A faster service time and lighter, more flexible finish than Builder Gel
Clean, durable, and designed for modern routines.
